Awesome idea for a contest, I'm super excited to get started.

So I started to work on my stuff. Hint... it's going to be electronic with classical elements again. LOL
I also decided not to rush things and I'll be returning to the project periodicaly during the upcoming weeks.
That should UP the quality.

Hi, i just wanted to know if the NG ratings of our submissions will have any effect on the contest or is it up to the contest holder's opinion. My song got kinda downrated on the same day i posted.

Progress Week 1:
Got permission from all 3 artists :D
Finished song 1, only minor changes now! (Rock/electro)
Was awesome in general :P

May I use this samples?

They sound like nintendo, hope they're not "copyrighted"

John Williams style with jazzy sound?

If RealFaction approves of using the original melodies without using any copyrighted samples, I'll take a stab at a Star Wars polka medley.

I don't think we would get in trouble covering star wars, though not exactly an original melody, but it would be inspired by the artwork...well go ahead I guess lol

Ohyus.

If you're asking if you can use the preset sounds on the Magical 8Bit VST then I'm pretty sure you can.

All the drum and bass, damn 4/4.. forever alone

Excited for this contest, I've already entered twice! My compositions tend to take quicker to make, but I made a third one for about 6 hours and then I forgot to save, and it went "Not Responding" on me. Pity was that I thought that might have been my best piece yet! Oh well. Thanks all for letting me join you. ;)

Use the artwork you're making music out of as a background for your DAW.

Point successfully noted. Once my primary musical tasks are done, I'll do this.

If it comforts you any, I'm probably going to do another 3/4 piece.... again.

Shaaaadap. I'm still cat mad at you for stealing my artist ya slobbery slob. Slaaaab.

Also, I'm surprised with how my songs been going. I've been in a dire writers block as of late and this comp was exactly what I needed. Just one thing: I'm using samples from the female sample pack on this website. Seems legit. Kill me if I'm wrong. Regardless I'm still writing my song with them in there. Too perfect.

Also I got permission from Rucklol to do a song of his mudkip ms paint drawing. I'd post an image/ link but that piece of art should be famous by now or something. Seriously, I can't wait to write a song in garageband again.

Yea dude that's legit, at least my understanding was if it's acceptable in the AP than it's acceptable in the contest (correct me if I'm wrong judges)

Royalty-free means by downloading you initialize a private licensing to yourself with free reign to use the samples as you see fit, the one exception to this would be to then re-distribute as a sample pack you made or by using the samples solely and not part of an overall composition (such as a pinging fx sound in a fighting game when your character punches, but if you used the ping as part of the background music IE in a track then that's fine).

I had to do a f*** ton of research before starting Tight Groove Recordings in order to prevent/ re-assure there'd be no legal issues down the road for any of my artists, so when signing contracts they had to agree to the above terms that all material used is either royalty-free of their own making. If they were to infringe copyright laws, their contracts become terminated and all legal backlash is their own baggage.

So wait... it's cool if your artists sample copy-written material but if shit hits the fan you get to press the eject button and give the artist the middle finger?

OLOLOLOLOL FUCK YOU ARTIST!! HAVE A NICE DEIGH :D :D :D

Well damn. Why not? Got permission from EchoCharlieDelta to use http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/echocharliedelta/assault-
drone for inspiration :P

Out of curiosity though - are you allowed to post early and get some input before the final submission or is whatever you submit considered the actual entry?

I'm thinking of possibly making a second entry in addition to what I'm doing now.

I'ma do a piece for FallenBane...
